[Camera bug] - Images are white with led on - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I take picture with my phone in dark room...or somewhere where led flash need to be used, photos are ale white..I mean not all, but enough that it is useless. Does anybody knows how to fix this bug ? It seems like led flash is too bright(strong) so it impacts image in a bad way. Also, does anybody experienced this issue ?

are you putting some cover on your phone?then it may cause problems
if you are on custom rom then its a bug update the rom
if you are on stock then try a factory reset

I changed over a 15 roms and kernels, now I'm on stock(flashed with odin, latest) and still the same. No covers, also. Did anyone experienced this issue, my friends told me that that is common issue on S2, is that true ? or it is a bug ?

The only common issue on the S2 I know is the mic (sometimes not work unless screaming) and the camera filming at 1080p looks like 720p but then 1.5x zoomed.

No mic problems, or any others, just that one with a camera. Video quality is good also.

Still no fix for quiet vids?

I am guessing there is still no fix for the nearly non-existent sounds on videos recorded with the TB? Anyone have any idea when this might roll out?
I don't have any problem with my videos
Lucky you, I guess.
Well you don't specify anything so what else is anyone supposed to say. Has it always been like this? If not when did it start? Are you rooted? If so what rom are you running? What kernel are you running?
You can't complain about a problem and just magically expect a fix, provide information and people can help you.
The OP is talking about the dual microphones on the device. These as we know are intended to reduce background noise while on a call, unfortunately they work all the time, essentially canceling out almost all sound when recording video with the stock camcorder. HTC has recognized this as an issue and has stated that a fix will pushed out. As of yet I have not heard of any updates being pushed.

Thanks for the clarification and the helpful response. As an aside, responding that "I dont have a problem with XXX" is not really all that helpful. Thanks for your thoughts though.
The new leaked RUU made available yesterday SHOULD fix the audio issues, but I can't confirm this. Anyone have experiences with this?
I can confirm the leaked RUU fixed the low audio problem on video playback.
I can confirm that it works for me too
I can confirm that the leaked RUU fixes the low audio problems. The last of my issues is now resolved

[Q] Is Skype crackling for you?

I'ts only on ICS rom, before on GB rom it has never come out. I have terrible crackles during skype conservation.
For those who doesn't know what I'm talking about here is a short sample:
http://www.speedyshare.com/4MGV7/sample-crackles.wma
I have done a little research through Internet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600896
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647711
So I'm not alone. The problem is connected with htc device using ICS soft. I don't know if it's soft related or skype related. Moreover I can say the same situation is in GTA 3 game, crackling all the time, it was mentioned in one of links above.
Does anybody have some idea how to deal with it? It's really annoying and skype is important peace for me.

Hey I also had a lot of problems with crackling speakers on ICS roms. on the thread of the custom rom that i use at the moment (mwakious) there were more people complaining about it. In his latest version he seemded to repaired it if you check the change log. i tried it for myself and i dont experience any problems any more. Maybe an idea to flash that rom? don;t know if you like it but at least you are not bothered with that crackling noise anymore.
Good luck!
It's funny because I use this rom all the time and person who has complaint about it was me . I have the newest version and still have these crackles. Have you done something special or the newest version has solved this problem for you?
'Temple Run' has it too.

[SOLVED] Galaxy S2 Odd Camera Issue

Hello all, this is my first post in the S2 section. I bought a very cheap S2 today but it has 1 issue (hence why it was cheap). The rear camera will only focus on close objects (>30cm) OR when it is facing up. If I point my phone down to look at the floor for example, it won't focus on anything unless i'm ~30cm from the floor. If i point my phone to the sky or higher than eye level it will focus. It sometimes will focus when I point it at eyelevel but it usually wont. I have updated it to XWLSS and the still issue persists. I bought this phone because i thought that this issue was a software issue but updating it to 4.1.2 didn't fix it.
Camera firmware: SCEF02.
Phone Firmware: TBEC28.
I don't have FPS issues or pink issues, only focusing issues. I've tried other camera apps (lgCamera) but that didn't fix it either. I don't think my camera module is completely broken because it still focuses when pointed higher than eye level. If i select macro in camera settings, nothing changes so that's why I think it might be a software issue. This issue happens in both video and photo mode. The front camera works fine and everything else is fine. Is there anything that can be done hardware wise or software wise? I don't want to change my module due to laziness and lack of experience but is there anything I could do like resolder the module? Anything else I can do software wise? If it helps, I also have an i9100T (Telstra model, identical to the i9100 except for the radio).
If people don't really understand by what I mean (issue wise) i'll make a video showing the focusing range and non focusing range.
Could reinstalling the camera firmware fix it? Or installing a different version?

If anyone does have this problem, I fixed this specific i9100 by changing the camera module.

[Q] Camcorder lines

I'm running TEAM D.I.R.T's Dirty Unicorns v2.1 ROM and I am wondering why whenever I record a video I get sporadic lines and when I send a video over MMS the lines are REALLY bad
Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere but I couldn't find it
Vertical lines? I've seen the same issue on my phone, except for it's sporadic on mine. I'm using CM 10.1 Wild for the Night.
Yeah verticle lines, not black either.
I used that ROM before this one and I had it on that one too
My guess is that there must be some odd compatibility issues with JellyBean and the camera drivers. I've never seen that with any ICS-based ROM. Would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this and resolved it.
Same.
I'm assuming there may be a mismatched driver too that I may have missed, otherwise it's probably like you said and just related to JB. But that would mean everyone else has the same issue that is on JB ROMs.

Front facing camera crashes phone

Hey guys, i've been having some trouble lately with taking pictures on my front facing camera. I'm using the t-mobile variant of the samsung galaxy s3 (its actually from wind, but theyre the same). The last rom i had installed was cyanogenmod, and it was working fairly well, except every once in a while, when i took a picture or video from the front facing camera, the phone would crash immediately and reboot. I tested this with many different camera applications and they all had the same result. I decided that i would try a different rom to see if that was the issue, so i installed the latest version of Carbon. The problem persisted, and it even got worse. Now every time i take a photo using the front facing camera, the phone will crash and reboot instantly. I read around, and there appears to be some issues with snapchat and such, but i dont think that is my problem as this is occuring with every camera application i have. I have also checked out some other threads related to this issue, and some seem to have the same problem, with no real solution. Apparently a temporary fix seems to be clearing the application data, but even that doesn't work for me. If i could guess, i would say it has something to do with custom roms in general as i have seen no reports of a stock rom phone having this issue, or perhaps a gapps issue, but those are just some thoughts.
Some Info:
Model Number: SGH-T999
Android Version: 4.4.2
Carbon Version: CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140316-0304
I'd be happy to provide any extra info needed. Thanks so much guys, it would be great for me and all the others that have this issue if there's some way to fix this problem. I'll try to be as active as i can to provide any info or test any possible solution for everyone. It seems like a big problem for a lot of people.
I'd really appreciate any and all feedback. Sorry for the bump.
